As an experienced crypto market analyst, I’ve witnessed the rollercoaster ride that Polkadot ($DOT) and the broader crypto market have gone through recently. The past few weeks were particularly challenging for both, with $BTC dipping below the $54,000 mark and $DOT hitting a low of $4.94.
Recently, Polkadot‘s ($DOT) value underwent significant advancements but managed to regain most of the ground it had lost over the past month. At a point in time, the price of $DOT dropped as low as $4.94. However, it subsequently bounced back and reached $6.24.
Over the past fortnight, the crypto market endured some rough patches, with Bitcoin ($BTC) dipping as low as $54,000. Polkadot ($DOT) similarly felt the market’s pinch, reaching a recent nadir at $4.94. However, the market seems to have rebounded, allowing $DOT to surpass its previous price point of $6 once more.
Market Bounces Back, For Now
The crypto market, including bitcoin, bounced back slightly from its recent slump where it dipped to $54,000. Currently, bitcoin is priced at $59,949 and has managed to stay above the $60,000 mark following a day of holding steady. However, Polkadot encountered extra challenges during this volatile market period, such as criticism directed towards its Treasury’s substantial spending.
Over the past month, the complex market situation and certain difficulties faced by Polkadot caused a decline of approximately 16% for $DOT as compared to its price one week ago. However, in the last week, Polkadot has regained some lost ground, resulting in a current increase of around 0.46% according to the 30-day chart.
This week, $DOT started trading at $5.9 and climbed up to $6.27. However, sellers managed to push the price back below $6. On Tuesday, buyers regained control, causing the price to rise. Throughout the rest of the week, this trend continued. The highest $DOT reached during this period was $6.49, but it failed to surpass that level.
At present, the price of $DOT is at $6.28, representing a 0.25% increase compared to its value at the same point yesterday, and a noteworthy rise of 4.22% over the past week.
Snowbridge Usage Surge
This week, Polkadot unveiled its June 2024 report, showcasing a significant rise in the adoption of Snowbridge, Polkadot’s newly introduced Ethereum bridge. Other key advancements include improvements to the Alpha Program and parachains, as well as new functionalities for the Generic Ledger app. One of the most remarkable accomplishments in Polkadot’s June progress is the growing popularity of Snowbridge since its deployment just under a month ago.
